Engage with in-market shoppers across the customer journey

Drive more brand awareness and product sales at all stages in the customer journey by leveraging different Retail Media ad products across onsite, offsite, and in-store.

Product Listing ads (PLA)

Boost product sales with retailer partners: Promote individual products to in-market shoppers by blending native product ads into highly relevant category pages or search results on a retailer’s website and app.     

 

Tie your effective spending to real results: Only pay when a shopper clicks an ad to ensure efficient spend-through and get campaign insights with real-time, closed-loop reporting.

Banner ads

Boost brand awareness that leads to more product sales: Promote your brand by displaying banner ads to shoppers in highly visible spots to gain more brand recognition and share of voice.

 

Make banners in seconds using cutting-edge AI: Generate banner creatives at scale by using AI-powered Retail Media Creative Studio (Open Beta) to turn products into compelling ads.

 

Optimize banner performance by actual viewership: Maximize your return on ad spend by bidding on banner viewership and understanding shopper reach through the viewership reporting.

Sponsored brands

Capture shoppers’ attention while boosting sales: Promote your brand and multiple products together at where highly visible to shoppers, conveying a full funnel story from awareness to sales.

 

Only pay for the first click to maximize your return: Get multiple clickable components in an ad while only paying for the first click a shopper makes to maximize return on investment.

Offsite ads

Reach shoppers at awareness and consideration stages: Promote your brand and products offsite on third-party properties, including social media, native, video, and connected TV, and bring shoppers back to retailers’ website and app.

 

Reengage in-market shoppers at the right moment: Easily extend a Product Listing Ad (PLA) offsite to Microsoft properties, like Bing, accelerating shoppers’ path to purchase.

 

Unlock omnichannel attribution across onsite and offsite: Match retailers’ sales data with Microsoft’s data to measure conversions driven by offsite ads wherever ad interactions and purchases take place.

In-store ads (Pilot)

Connect with shoppers beyond the digital world: Promote your brands and products via in-store ads, such as audio ads and digital signages, in brick-and-mortar stores to reach shoppers you can’t easily reach online, driving an incremental lift in product sales.

 

Get unified reporting and attribution: Optimize advertising dollars by gaining a complete view of the customer journey from online to offline with omnichannel attribution.
